➍ ProMAX v2 only: Orient the foam side towards you to absorb acoustical

reﬂections. Position the angled / reﬂective side of the

ProMAX v2 facing you to redirect acoustical energy relative to your

listening position to achieve the desired effect.

When using the reﬂective side the panel’s overall angle can be adjusted

by rotating it on the stand. When using multiple pairs of ProMAX v2s

ﬂanking the listening position, orient the angled reﬂective surfaces in

the same manner for a

balanced image and

soundstage.

To reverse the orientation of

the angled surfaces swap the

panel positions from one side

of the listening position to the

other.

Setup

➍ Insert tube into the hole in the

center of the Stand-Mounted

LENRD or Studio6. This is best

accomplished with the panel

lying ﬂat on a table or the ﬂoor.

Assistance is recommended.

➌ Place the LENRDs on a ﬂat

surface, open up the center cut

on the rear and carefully pull out

the foam tube to open up the

stand hole. Place the Studio6

mid-line, face down on the edge

of a long counter top or table.

Flex the panel to open the rear

seam and remove the foam tube.

➎ Orient the wedge proﬁle side of the LENRD

toward the listening space with the smooth

side near or ﬂush into a corner for best

low frequency absorption. The height of

the LENRD Bass Trap can be adjusted as

needed. Optimal low frequency absorption

typically occurs when the LENRD is high

on the stand near the trihedral wall ceiling

corner. The Studio6 can be used as a bass

trap by placing the large bevels to the rear

and bridging the corner. It can also be

placed ﬂat against the rear or side walls of

the room as needed.

➋ Remove star washer from the

top of the stand.

➊ Set up the stand and ﬁrmly

tighten the pole into the base.

Extent the top tube and ﬁrmly

tighten the adjustment collar.

Their ability to dramatically improve the resolution of your monitors is remarkable! By isolating your speakers from structural resonances

you will experience decreased coloration and increased clarity resulting in a sharper sound image.

➊ Determine your monitors

location in your room following

the manufacturer’s placement

guidelines.

➋ Place your speakers on top of the

MoPAD-XLs or ProPADs with or

without the accessory wedges.

The wedge adjusters can be

oriented to achieve additional

down tilt, up tilt or a ﬂat stance.

MudGuard

™

v2 Setup

The MudGuard v2 is a ﬂexible and cost effective method to control unwanted

acoustic reﬂections when recording vocal tracks in under treated rooms. This

user guide describes how to conﬁgure the included hardware to accommodate

various types of microphones and stands to maximum advantage.

Assembly Overview & Pointers

The hardware included with the MudGuard v2 enable it to be conﬁgured

with a wide variety of microphones and stands. The goal is to recess the

microphone diaphragm as far into the MudGuard v2 as possible and with the

pick-up diaphragm centered vertically for optimal isolation (see illustrations on

below).

• Use the extension tube to raise the height of the mic if it is too low or if clearance

between the mounting bar and the XLR connector and cable are needed.

• The thread adapter can be used to attach the MudGuard v2 to the mic stand separately from the microphone mount itself. This can help to

optimize the microphone position in the shell if required. The knob with the male mic stand threads is used to attach the mic and extension tube (if

required) to the MudGuard v2’s slotted mounting bar.

• A typical size microphone cable XLR connector can be fed through the wide circular area at the back of the mounting bar to optimize

the positioning of the microphone.

• For the most neutral tonal balance avoid placing the microphone near the back of the shell. Optimal results will be obtained with microphone

placements in the front third of the MudGuard v2s depth.

Mounting Hardware Configurations

Direct Mounting:

• The MudGuard v2 mounting bar, microphone and

extension tube (if required) can be attached directly to the

top of the mic stand using a star nut and a ﬂat washer as

shown in Figure 1.

Indirect Mounting:

• The MudGuard v2 shield may be mounted to the mic

stand independently from the microphone and extension

tube using the male mic thread knob and threaded adapter

as shown in Figure 2.

Inverted mounting to a boom stand using a down tube is

accomplished using the same method and hardware as as

shown in Figure 2.
